Welcome
Hi Jamie,
Welcome! January is an excellent time to start a new healthy eating plan. Personally i do not like the term 'diet'. It only makes u feel that u are restricting yourself and some how denying yourself from all the foods u love, when actually it is being over weight that is depriving u of so much in your life. Also the word 'diet' suggests that it is a short term solution, when in fact healthy eating has to be your way of life. Unfortunately most people have to watch carefully how much they eat for the rest of their lives but thats not to say we can't treat ourselves every now and again! It's just about moderation. There are no quick fixes or fad diets that work in the long term, some even make u put on weight! Its just about making healthy choices and watching your calorie intake. Eat less, move more and u will lose weight. There is no need to starve, doing so will only make u binge later which will only make u heavier long term. Aim to lose 1 or 2lbs a week. Exercise wise, try body weight exercises like squats, ball squats, split lunges, power lifts and so on. It isn't necessary to go to the gym if u don't fancy it, but working out certainly makes u feel better and tones u up quickly. Good luck hun, hope this helps
